Loaded Popovers Recipe – Bacon, Cheddar, Chive & Sour Cream

I’ve made popovers before (they are absolutely delicious) and I love a good loaded baked potato so it wasn’t a stretch for me to create something with the two ideas floating in my head. I finally decided on a loaded popover. These hollow rolls are worth all the time it takes to make them and the calories that come with eating them!

So, now that I’ve got you drooling, are you ready for the recipe?

Loaded Popovers Recipe – 

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups whole milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs, room temperature
• 8 slices cooked bacon, diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, diced
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 cup shredded (cheddar) cheese

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F
2. Place the milk in a bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl.
4. Using the whisk attachment on an electric mixer, crack the room temperature eggs into the bowl and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, until foamy.
5. Turn the mixer to low and add the warm milk.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
7. Let the batter rest for about 1 hour at room temperature.
8. After the batter sits, fold in bacon, chives, sour cream and cheddar cheese.
9. Spray a popover tin generously with nonstick spray (or use lotus liners).
10. Fill the popover cups almost to the top with the batter and place the popover cups on a cookie sheet.
11. Bake for 15 minutes.
12. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees F and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. The popovers should be a deep golden brown on the outside.
13. Turn the loaded popovers out of the pan and serve hot.

Note: Make things easier by having room temperature eggs and warm milk before mixing.

The only thing this loaded popover recipe might be missing? A good amount of butter! But that doesn’t bother me. If I could, I’d eat all of them and not share!
